That is the goal of Viet Nam's Project "Modernizing the Hydro meteorological industry to 2025 and the period 2026-2030", which has just been signed by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha with Decision 1261/QD-TTg on October 27th, 2023.
Specifically, the project aims to modernize hydrometeorological monitoring technology by 2030, bringing the total number of automatic stations across the network to 95% for meteorological stations, water level measurement, rain measurement, and wind measurement on the island and minimum 40% for water flow measuring stations.
Research and apply remote monitoring technology using satellites, cameras, remote sensing, internet of things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) in monitoring activities for large-scale monitoring and forecasting.
Continuous hydro meteorological forecasts in weather conditions usually have a reliability of 80-85%.
According to the Project, from 2023 to 2025, regarding information technology and digital transformation, upgrading the information technology system, including: enhancing computing and storage capacity; Information technology virtualization infrastructure; storage capacity, incident tracking, and operational control. Deploying essential information security infrastructure to replace old technologies to proactively monitor, monitor and apply information security efforts. Building a national, interconnected hydrological symbol database to different countries' databases; Applying big data technology and artificial intelligence in managing, exploiting, and sharing information and hydrometeorological data.
